2027: Tinubu Support Groups Strengthen Alliance as TSM Collapses Structure into RTIFN
The National Executive Council of Relax Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria (RTIFN), led by its Director-General, Hon. Ahmed Bala, has received the leadership and members of the Tinubu Solidarity Movement (TSM), following the decision of the organisation to collapse its structure and membership into RTIFN ahead of the 2027 general election.
The development took place on August 11, 2026, when a delegation of TSM, led by its National Secretary, Engr. Gold Azikiwe, visited the RTIFN headquarters in Abuja. Engr. Azikiwe also represented the National Chairman and Chairman of the TSM Governing Council, Dr. Ishaq Osagie-Eweka.
Speaking during the meeting, Engr. Azikiwe said TSM had carefully monitored the activities and achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, as well as the mobilisation efforts of RTIFN.
He said the organisation was impressed by what it described as the achievements of the Tinubu administration and the grassroots activities of RTIFN in support of the President’s 2027 re-election bid.
“Our organisation is impressed with the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu so far. We have also monitored the impressive activities of RTIFN with respect to the support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu come 2027, which is also the core purpose of TSM,” Engr. Azikiwe said.
He disclosed that the national body of TSM had unanimously resolved to integrate its structure and membership into RTIFN.
“The National body of TSM unanimously voted that TSM should collapse its structure and members into RTIFN. That is why we are here today at the RTIFN headquarters in Abuja,” he stated.
Engr. Azikiwe further pledged the commitment of the former TSM members to working with RTIFN under its leadership.
“We shall work in synergy with RTIFN under its leadership to ensure the victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu come 2027,” he assured.
The TSM delegation included Princess Barbara Inyang, Director of Operations and Welfare, representing Delta State; Miss Bimbo Akingbemila, Ondo State Representative; Mr. Fabulous Ikpechukwu Okafor, TSM Coordinator, Anambra State; Mr. Kennedy Raphael Ahupa, TSM Coordinator, Cross River State; Mr. Hunkolo Afiyo; Mr. Bello Attahir, representing Adamawa State; Prince Akintunde Ogunseinde; Hon. Adedayo Adeyemi, representing Ogun State, and other representatives from Abuja, Bauchi, Edo, Kano, Sokoto, Akwa Ibom, Yola, Nasarawa, Lagos and Plateau States.
RTIFN Welcomes TSM
Responding to the delegation, RTIFN Director-General, Hon. Ahmed Bala, welcomed the TSM leadership and members into the organisation.
“We welcome TSM into RTIFN. You are now part of this family, and you will be recognised as members of RTIFN. All hands must be on deck to achieve our objective,” Hon. Bala said.
The RTIFN Director-General also commended the TSM leadership for the decision and urged the newly integrated members to bring their experience, networks and grassroots structures to bear on the collective objective of the organisation.
Hon. Bala was accompanied at the meeting by the Deputy Director-General, Mr. Zack Orji; National Secretary, Amb. Audu Eleojo Obaje; Director, Townhall and Special Duties, Hon. Farida Deborah Ibrahim; South-East Zonal Coordinator and Director of Organisational Improvement, Hon. Johnbosco Onunkwo; National Youth Leader, Comrade Umar Faruk; National Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Musa Abdulrahaman; and National Legal Adviser, Dr. Tony Orunkoya, Esq.
Dr. Orunkoya played a key role in facilitating the formal collapse and assimilation of TSM into RTIFN.
TSM UK Also Joins RTIFN
The latest development follows a similar move by TSM UK, led by Comrade Nelson Aigberomwan, which earlier collapsed its structure and membership into RTIFN UK in London.
The letter conveying the decision of TSM UK was received by Hon. Temitope Onifade, National Director of Performance Evaluation, RTIFN UK, alongside other RTIFN members in the United Kingdom.
The document, which was transmitted from London through RTIFN National Legal Adviser, Dr. Tony Orunkoya, was subsequently presented formally to the RTIFN Director-General, Hon. Ahmed Bala.
The successive integration of support groups into RTIFN represents what the organisation describes as growing confidence in its grassroots mobilisation strategy and its campaign to build broader support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The development also signals an emerging effort among pro-Tinubu support groups to consolidate their structures, networks and membership under a coordinated platform as preparations for the 2027 election gather momentum.
